ORGANIC Olive oil / Italy

Mediterraneo extra virgin olive oil is obtained exclusively from the best olives from the extreme south of Italy, from Calabria. Thanks to decades of experience in organic farming and intensive collaboration with many Calabrian farmers, who all work according to organic farming guidelines, the entire production process of this olive oil is controlled with the greatest care and attention to ensure that it meets the highest quality standards.

Mediterraneo extra virgin olive oil has a typical Italian flavor - mild and fruity - and is ideal for all kinds of dishes, especially salads and Mediterranean cuisine.

Cooperation with organic farmers in Italy

In our oil factory in Weserbergland, we cannot press olive oils ourselves, but buy them from selected organic suppliers. One of the reasons for this is the small time window that is allowed between the harvest in the countries of origin and the processing of the olives. Another reason is that special machines are used to produce olive oil. Strictly speaking, olive oils are not "pressed" but rather "centrifuged" in large centrifuges.

In order to be able to guarantee the best quality at all times, the freshly harvested olives are processed into olive oil on site. When it comes to "organic", our olive oil suppliers meet the criteria for organic cultivation to our complete satisfaction. In addition to on-site visits at the time of the olive harvest, careful analyses by independent laboratories, in which harmful substances such as mineral oils, plasticizers and polyaromatic hydrocarbons are tested, are also part of the inspection and quality assurance process.
